ORThen Judge Johann Krieten goes directly to the Gzuz rapper, the bourgeois Kristoffer Jonas Klauß, and says: “Who, if not you, belongs to prison?”
Earlier, the Hamburg district judge had listed the rap star’s many crimes in his ruling over the years, spiced up with the reference to “ongoing probation” in current proceedings.
An image that makes you rich
The 32-year-old is a member of the Hamburg hip-hop group 187 Strassenbande (187 represents the California code paragraph dealing with murder), one of Germany’s best-known and most successful rap groups with their tough-guy image. . play and convert it into clicks and euros.
Gzuz violations cover the entire range of the code: in 2011 Gzuz migrated (speak Dschises) already in jail, for a robbery in a cell phone store, he received three years and four months in prison.
There is also sexual harassment, cruelty to animals (swan slapping), property damage and insults. In the current process, it is illegal possession of weapons, possession of drugs, and bodily injury.
– Among other things, the 32-year-old is said to have hit a young woman in the face who wanted to take a selfie with him.
– On New Year’s Eve, the rapper fired a blank gun into the air and uploaded a video on social media. However, due to previous incidents, he is not allowed to possess weapons.
– In February 2020, the rapper is also said to have attempted to steal an oxygen bottle from a keyless ambulance at a gas station.
This time the judge even exceeded the requirements of the Prosecutor’s Office, which had requested a year and two months in prison without parole. The penalty is one year and six months in prison without parole. Gzuz is not going to jail (for now), he is still at large. His defense attorney, television attorney Christopher Posch, announced that he would appeal the verdict. The case will soon be heard by the regional court.
Life as a rapper can be lucrative
Judge Johann Krieten is known for his constant, sometimes harsh judgments. In the first trial of the G20 riots, he sentenced a defendant to two years and seven months without parole for throwing two bottles at police officers. The verdict was overturned in the next instance and the defendant was sentenced to one year and nine months of probation.
“You have to hit your property too,” Richter Krieten tells Gzuz this time. In addition to the prison sentence, there is a fine of 300 daily rates of 1,700 euros, for a total of 510,000 euros. Daily rates are based on the defendant’s income, the court had gone to great lengths to determine the rapper’s high income from downloads, concerts, Gema fees, and record company donations.
An example: from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020, Gzuz had an income of 1.4 million euros, according to the court’s findings. After deducting taxes, maintenance and other expenses, he had 612,000 euros left, of which the judge calculated the daily rate of 1,700 euros.
“Find a new lawyer”
Gzuz’s attorney, Christopher Posch, had asked that the defendant be acquitted of all charges. “Such a procedure would have been suspended for anyone else in the hall,” Posch had stated. But not with his client, who is considered an “enemy of the state” and an “evil gangster rapper”.
During the trial, the judge exchanged blows with the accused several times, and once excluded him from the trial. The judge also disagreed with the lawyer. In his opinion, Judge Posch, also known for the RTL program “Christopher Posch – I fight for your rights”, literally waddled.
Turning to the rapper, the judge said: “You need a better lawyer for the next instance.” Posch, according to Krieten, was ill-prepared and would have been “wrong.” In addition, the lawyer would have presented adventurous witnesses who should exonerate the rapper. “Sometimes I thought I was in a television studio, that was comedy,” the judge said.
Guerrilla warfare in court
For his part, the lawyer had presented several requests for partiality and a criminal complaint against the judge for perversion of justice and deprivation of liberty. Krieten had issued an arrest warrant for the rapper in February because he had not appeared in court. Gzuz later reported to the office and was later detained for a short time. The lawyer did not think it was appropriate.
Towards the end of the verdict, the judge addresses the defendant directly and says, “You are a social bully. You ignore the rules of social interaction. “He responds,” You too. “The judge then says,” The good thing is, I have the last word here. ”
At least until it’s waiting for the next instance.
